2023 Kir-Yianni Assyrtiko Le Nord

5/2/2024 - DanyMorcos Likes this wine: 89 points

Great assyrtiko - nose anything but shy. Primaries, minerality and saltiness come out in quick succession, unapologetically. Length med-

Impressive value - good straightforward weekday sipper.

Screw cap. Fragrant and intense, the medium-high intensity nose delivers elegant lemon citrus, floral, leesy-stony minerality, ripe pear, spice, and grapefruit aromas with some nuanced orchard fruit notes. It's medium-full bodied with impressive weight, concentration, and depth on the dry, structured palate. Lovely ripe lemon citrus, grapefruit, floral, leesy-stony minerality, pear, and white peach flavours are neatly balanced. It has crisp, clean, juicy, and structured acidity, along with some spice notes and a chalky mineral texture on the mid-palate. Oyster shell mineral flavours with touches of spice linger on the long, crisp, and well-balanced finish. Score: 91+ pts

Medium ruby colored with medium viscosity (14.5% ABV). The nose of this Xinomavro, Merlot and Syrah blend has medium (-) intensity aromas of black raspberry, black plum, lilac, mulberry, licorice, coffee, vanilla and bilberry. It's quite an interesting nose that gains some power as it opens. The palate is dry with medium acidity, a full body and medium (+) tannins that are a touch green. Flavors of blackberry, bilberry, black raspberry, plum with coffee, vanilla and a hint of purple licorice are balanced by the firm structure of tannins and acidity. It's a pretty bold wine with nice fruit that lingers on a medium length finish. The tannins are the last to bow out leaving my mouth slightly dried out but wanting more. I am mixing up some Chimmichurri to go with cast-iron prepared Hanger steaks with Korean sweet potatoes and green beans, should work a treat. 92 points from me for this $20 effort makes it a 5 star wine to buy again. Drink till 2028.

4/17/2024 - thomasbahr80 Likes this wine: 92 points

Colour: light ruby with garnet, legs are medium, no sediment
Nose: leather, olive, tomato, sage, anise
Mouth: dry tannins, tomato, sweet strawberry, high acidity
Finish: black tea and still quite adstringent, very long and complex tannins structure, olive, herbs

Excellent, can compare with a lot of much more expensive Nebiollo from Piedmont, still young and has probably a lot more live in it, recommended buy

Toner av fat och körsbär. Ordentligt med tanniner! Påminner om malbec i smaken men lite tunnare i färg och även lite mindre fyllighet. Riktigt bra!

2022 Kir-Yianni Xinomavro Le esprit du lac

4/9/2024 - Harley1199 wrote: NR

By the glass. Once again Xinomavro at 99.9% (!) from Greek Macedonia area. 13.4 ABV. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Rosé wine that stands out on the nose for some blows of grapes, grass mower bag and a citrus touch. Better definition than complexity. It came from a light body on the palate although structured, mature but also of a deep acidity with an herbaceous finish. Not bad at all yet nothing extraordinary.

Por copas. Xinomavro al 99.9% (!) de la zona de la Macedonia griega. Volumen alcohólico de un 13.4%. Fermentación en depósitos de acero inoxidable. Vino rosado que en nariz destaca por los golpes a uvas, bolsa de la cortadora de césped y un toque cítrico. Mejor definición que complejidad. Vino de un cuerpo ligero al paladar aunque estructurado, maduro pero también de una profunda acidez y con un final herbáceo. No está mal del todo pero nada extraordinario.

Pleasantly darkish red for a rose

The wine looks straw colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like lemon, lime, peach and apple. It tastes like lemon, lime, apple, peach, pear, apple blossom, orange blossom, peach blossom and leesy. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity.

Served by the glass. 100% Assyrtiko from Greek Macedonia. 14.0 ABV. On the nose it concentrates on offering the expected notes to daisy flowers and acidic fruit such as apples, ripe lemons and limes. On the palate it shows a creamy texture, high acidity with a saline and spicy finish. Bottle trap for tourists? Seems so.

Servido por copas. Assyrtiko al 100% procedente de la Macedonia griega. Volumen alcohólico de un 14.0%. En nariz se concentra en ofrecer las esperadas notas a flores de margarita y a fruta ácida como las manzanas, limones maduros y limas. En boca muestra una textura cremosa, de alta acidez y con un final salino y especiado. ¿Botella trampa para turistas? Eso parece.

A bit sweetish and fruity, which sometimes I like in an eastern European red but in this case I wanted something a bit more savoury to go with my Greekish lamb pasta.

Bright red in color, somewhat translucent which makes you think of a light bodied red. This is more of medium-full bodied with a good backbone of tannins. Floral tones with red berries. A nice twist of Xinomavro!

C: Light red as a Gamay och Beaujalais
N: Sticky with some nougat
P: Light-Med Body, Smooth tannins, to much acid to be in balance. Nougat, Strawberry
Sum: A little bit to watery and overtaking accidity. Reminds of a Beaujolais but with more tannins. Not what I expected. Glad I only bought one bottle

Nice, straightforward red blend with an indigenous grape blended with a few traditional European varietals. More medium bodied than a traditional Bordeaux blend, some nice tart red fruit and some dark fruit as well. Paired well with the lamb.

This Xinomavro has fresh red cherry and currant aromas accented with some dried cherry and floral tones, plus subtle oak characters on the nose. On the medium-full bodied, structured palate it has dusty, grippy tannins that support the refined dark red cherry flavours. Acids are very good, while the finish length is excellent. Score: 90+ pts
